What will be the single biggest (turnaround) difference maker in UL FB history?

Good thing you are not in charge. I would rather see 25 million in football and basketball endowments. Why? Because your plan would not relieve the athletic department from their obligation in any of the sports you mention. So you have depleted the potential resources from football and basketball donations and you still spend every cent you did before in the other sports.

He said endowed funds. The U would no longer be spending any current revenue on Spring sports. The total current spring sport budget could then be diverted to football/basketball.

I completely understand, and the university would still be spending all the money they do now from the general athletic fund. I do not see how the general fund could not be made to spend money on these minor sports especially any with women. Endowed money has to be viewed as in addition to what the university already does.

Of course the general fund would still spend money on those sports; but it would be money derived from income on the endowments, not money taken from the State or from revenue producing programs, as is currently the case.

None of the above. 10 years of winning football to offset the 10 years of losing/mediocre football.

I agree. None of the above. RECRUITING-RECRUITING-RECRUITING.

Everything starts and ends with winning. You are not going to sell 20,000 season tickets for a terrible product. That would help with recruiting, marketing, season ticket sales etc... Just win baby. Look at the Saints, there is a 25,000 long waiting list to buy season tickets with just one terrific season.

That's not on the list. How old is Authement? He was an old man when I was there. He is like the Dick Clark of Acadiana.

Just wondering what the single biggest difference maker will have been in UL's Football Program turn around?

Most every item on the list, is being persued by GH so I voted for him as without his efforts most of what we have as of recent and will have in the future is because of Gerald Hebert!!

I say Season tickets.

As a matter of fact this is the first year I am buying two season tickets to sit on the ADULT side now, as referred to when I was in college. I guess I am officially an adult.

My friend is also buying two.

So thats 4 more season tickets bought.

Marketing and recruiting are the same thing the coaches just hav to market in person.
